, as well as the indirect impact to the nuclear plant site from consequential events such as flooding and fires. Consequently, Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRAs) are increasingly being used as a tool for addressing integrated external hazards at nuclear power plants. The objective of this paper...
High winds pose a potential hazard to nuclear power plant (NPP) sites in the form of tornados, hurricanes, and straight winds. Because of the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPP, analyzing the impact of external hazards on plant risk and safety has become a high priority for both NPP ...
